Intel 410T quick start WorkgroupExample

In this example a Express 410T switch serves as the backbone for a small network. The MDI/MDI-X button allows the Express 410T switch to connect to other switches and hubs using straight-through cables (instead of crossover cables). All ports on the switch are MDI-X, and the button is used to toggle port 1 to MDI.
